Nipson SAS Secures New Financial Backing to Support Growth

BELFORT, FRANCE—Dec. 23, 2010—Nipson SAS announced that majority shareholder Loïc Dufeil, chairman of ADT, has acquired 100 percent of the existing capital of Nipson SAS and increased the capital of the company.

“This operation must enable the company to be even more reactive in providing innovation and in the consolidation of its operations, to adapt to changing markets and economic environments,” said Dufeil.

Guillaume Dumarey, president of the company DUMPRO, decided to give up his stake in the company to Dufeil in order to dedicate himself to his own industrial project.

Ghislain Segard has been confirmed as chairman of Nipson SAS, and will assume the management of sales and marketing activities as director.

This first step is expected to facilitate the entry of new institutional investors into the capital of Nipson SAS.

Nipson will be exhibiting its printing solutions at the Hunkeler innovationdays in Lucerne, Switzerland, from Feb. 14-17, 2011.
